860Km 'Gyeonggi Dullegil' Volunteer Activists to Begin Full-Scale Activities Starting May

Volunteer activists for the Gyeonggi Dullegil held a launch ceremony and began full-scale activities.

The Gyeonggi Dullegil is a long-distance walking trail along the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province where one can experience beautiful scenery, history, culture, and ecological resources on foot. It starts at Daemyeong Port, where you can enjoy the fresh vitality of life and the atmosphere of the sea, and makes a full circle around the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province, returning to the starting point, with a total length of 860 km.

The Dullegil, created through cooperation between Gyeonggi Province and 15 cities and counties, consists of 60 courses in total, divided into four zones reflecting the characteristics of the trails: ▲ ‘Pyeonghwa Nuri-gil’ connecting the outer walking trail of the DMZ ▲ ‘Forest Trail’ with green forests and valleys ▲ ‘Water Trail’ where you can walk along rivers and wide fields ▲ ‘Gaet-gil’ where you can feel the charm of the clean sea and mudflats.

The Gyeonggi Dullegil Volunteer Kick-off Ceremony was held on the 27th at the Gyeonggi Human Resources Development Institute. Volunteers are taking a commemorative photo after the kick-off ceremony.

On the 27th, Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced on the 28th that they held the ‘2024 Gyeonggi Dullegil Volunteer Activist Launch Ceremony’ at Dasan Hall in the new building of the Gyeonggi Human Resources Development Institute, attended by 48 volunteer activists.

The volunteers will carry out promotional activities such as regular on-site inspections of the Gyeonggi Dullegil, maintenance of guide signs (ribbons, stickers), reporting of inconveniences, and posting on social networking services (SNS) for their assigned courses from May to November, a period of seven months.

They will also conduct frequent monitoring in various areas such as checking for risks and disconnected sections caused by pavement damage, facility damage, natural disasters, and correcting information errors.

Jo Wonyong, president of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, said, "The Gyeonggi Dullegil, which just turned two years old, received great love from users last year thanks to the active activities of the first group of volunteer activists," and added, "Please lend a lot of support to maintain a safe and pleasant trail so that the Gyeonggi Dullegil can be a beloved walking path for a long time."
